Need Help: Previous car owner's summons

[Daniel Lee]

I recently discovered that my car previous owner still had 3 speeding tickets from the police that he did not settle yet.
It dated back to the year 2002 and I bought the car in the year 2004.
What am I suppose to do?

The thing goes like this, as far as i concerned, after changing ownership, the summons will fall under the previous owners identification card number. The record may not be updated by the Police force or JPJ. Please consult and explain to them.

Bring along the ID number, car registration & change name form for record purpose to Police or JPJ wherever u have the summon from.

Not to pay single cent.

Cheers buddie!

As far as you are concern, you need not do anything. They (the police and jpj) should track the previous owner to his IC and address in record.

If you want to play safe in case of roadblock, just have a photocopy of your transfer paper handy in your glovebox, or with you whenever you are in the car.

Cheers.

If you ever buy another second hand car, its best to check the previous owner summons before deciding to purchase it. Ultimately you don't have to pay for it, but you still wouldn't want a car with lots of summons in its registration. It just won't feel right.

Make sure the owner or second hand dealer settles the summon before buying it.
